"AND FOR EVERYONE THERE IS A DIRECTION TO WHICH HE TURNS HIS FACE. STRIVE, THEN, TO EXCEL EACH OTHER IN GOOD DEEDS. WHEREVER YOU ARE, ALLAH WILL BRING YOU ALL TOGETHER." (SURAH AL-BAQARAH:148)
In this verse it has been pointed out that every community has its own religious orientation or Qiblah, and in general they do not accept each other's religious orientation as being righteous, therefore, it is pointless to argue with them over it. Hence Allah Ta'alah has said that once a person knows that there would be no positive outcome of such arguments, one should not engage in such arguments any more and should get busy with striving to do good deeds as that is a human being's real task. As wasting time in frivolous debates and being tardy in striving for good deeds are two major reasons for being neglectful of Aakhirah (life hereafter), therefore, the person who genuinely cares about his Aakhirah and what would happen to him on the Day of Judgment, does not engage in frivolous debates and just gets on with earning more and more eternal rewards.
